"The attack wasn't on Mayor Mamdani, noted Republican panelist Joe Borelli. It was attacking protesters, people protesting Mamdani... To frame it as an anti-Muslim attack would actually completely reverse what happened. Someone who shouted 'Allahu Akbar,' threw a bomb that didn't go off at the protesters."
"I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate and I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error."
CNN senior political commentator Ana Navarro incorrectly stated that two arrested men attempted to bomb NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani at his home. Republican panelist Joe Borelli corrected her, explaining the attack targeted protesters outside the mayor's house, not the mayor himself. The attacker shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and threw a non-functional bomb at the crowd. Hours later, CNN host Abby Phillip issued a public apology for making the identical error on air, acknowledging the bombs were thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protesters rather than being specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. Phillip stated she failed to catch the inaccuracy before broadcasting.
